History

Paxton Media Group traces it roots to 1896, when a group of investors headed by William F. Paxton launched ''The Evening Sun'' by buying the assets of the failing ''Paducah Standard'' at 214 Broadway. The cost was $8,900, and the men started with $10,000 capital. The newspaper did not make a profit until 1918. In 1929, Paxton's son, Edwin J. Paxton, who had taken over as editor, bought out the rival ''News-Democrat''. After the merger, the newspaper became ''The Sun-Democrat'', and operations were moved to the current location at 408 Kentucky Avenue in 1934. The name changed to ''The Paducah Sun'' in 1978 at the request of Jack Paxton, editor at the time and grandson of Edwin J. Paxton. At 4:20 p.m. May 28, 1957, WPSD television, (the PSD stands for Paducah Sun-Democrat) went on the air as the company-owned television station based in Paducah. It is an NBC affiliate. The company operated only ''The Paducah Sun'' and WPSD-TV until 1989, when it began acquiring other newspapers. In 1998, the company purchased Nixon Newspapers Inc which included the ''Wabash Plain Dealer'', located in

La Porte ''Herald-Argus''

In September 2007, Paxton purchased the '' Herald-Argus'' of
La Porte, Indiana La Porte (French for "The Door") is a city in LaPorte County, Indiana, United States, of which it is the county seat. Its population was estimated to be 21,341 in 2022. It is one of the two principal cities of the Michigan City-La Porte, India ...

. In order to allay those rumors, then-publisher John A. Newby wrote a column that firmly stated that the ''Herald-Argus'' was profitable and "lean" and therefore would not see any dramatic changes. Despite published claims to the contrary, in October, shortly after taking over operation of the paper, Paxton Media laid-off about half its staff at the ''Herald-Argus'' and moved its production location to that of the Paxton-owned ''Herald-Palladium'' in

, which by Paxton's own admission, has negatively impacted the paper's ability to publish timely local news. Reminiscent of the abrupt manner in which the ''Herald-Sun'' firings were conducted, at least one longtime ''Herald-Argus'' staffer was notified of her termination via certified mail while she recovered from surgery at home. The remaining ''Herald-Argus'' staffers and the staffers at other nearby Paxton-owned papers were specifically instructed not to publish information regarding the ''Herald-Argus'' staff cuts and production changes. The ''Herald-Argus website has also removed the 17 September 200
column
which promised that there would be no staff cuts or relocation of the paper's offices under Paxton's watch. In July 2008, Paxton consolidated operations even more, making the publisher, managing editor, and other editorial management the same for both papers.


High Point ''Enterprise''

On 15 November 2007, reports indicate that Paxton dramatically cut the staff of the '' High Point Enterprise'' in
High Point, North Carolina High Point is a city in the Piedmont Triad region of the United States, U.S. state of North Carolina. Most of the city is in Guilford County, North Carolina, Guilford County, with parts extending into Randolph County, North Carolina, Randolph, ...
, which Paxton took control of in 2004. This is the third round of layoffs since 1999, when Paxton first purchased a stake in the paper. Senior ''Enterprise'' staff frequently criticized Paxton's management of the paper, arguing that there was a quantifiable reduction in local coverage.
